Super DadApril 6, 2017Plenty of parking at Reverchon park! Direct access to Katy Trail. The "Ice House" is less than 1/2 a mile away from Reverchon. Water fountains throughout Trail (even for dogs). Great people watching!
- Robyn HarmanSeptember 9, 2018Perfect spot in the city for a run or walking your dog. It's about 6 or 7 miles if you go out and back. You can stop at the Katy Trail Icehouse for a bite to eat or cold beverage during your trek.
- Super DadMarch 21, 2017Parking at one of the restaurants or retail stores is your best bet. Great walking/jogging trail!
Not ideal for cycling due to shortness of trail and congestion (walkers, dogs, strollers,etc) and narrowness of trail. Much safer and can get better cycling workout at White Rock Lake.
Ali MirzaSeptember 29, 2012No matter where you live in dallas, this is perfect for jog, run or roller blade. If you go on the weekend you will see a lot of other people (don't be surprised)
- Public entrance onto Katy Trail. Well lit at night and great for people watching during the day!
ILiveInDallas.comMarch 22, 2012Bike, walk, or roller blade, just don't be that guy/girl that uses that shake thing while running.
Ed LiberatoriSeptember 25, 2011amazing urban biking/running trail in downtown Dallas. Highlights are through Turtle Creek and uptown - perfect combination of nature and urban environments.
Dallas Hike and Bike TrailsSeptember 19, 2011This 3.5 mile trail serves as a 26 acre linear park providing recreational & alternative commuting opportunities in one of the densest areas of the City.
Daron YondemAugust 8, 2014Live the trail! Especially like the fact it is community driven and funded. Keep it up!
This is my go to running trail. Great sights on the trail.
Charles E.July 22, 2013Good place to run or bike in the shade but a tough place to walk a dog because of those obstacles. Not much to look at either with hedges on each side.
Dean EricksonSeptember 14, 2014This is a nice flat trail going through Dallas. However it's more of a running meat market of the wannabes of Dallas.
Really enjoyed running here, gets busy & crowded but everyone was friendly & you can maneuver around people easily.- Jaycee HaddoxMarch 2, 2016The trail is very nice it has lots of room for joggers and bikers at the same time
- Love to jog this trail, visit parks off of it, and to eat at the Katy Trail Ice house.
Get the best view of Dallas down by the AAC there's a perfect view of victory park!
Joseph RotenMarch 6, 2013Stop and check out these lights along the trail. They have motion sensors and each makes a different sound as you pass. Way cool.
This is almost exactly the midpoint of the trail, so it's about a 3.5 mile round trip in either direction.
LogoTVJuly 6, 2011I can't decide which I enjoy more: Getting a great sweaty workout in while running the Katy Trail, or watching the other men do the same... -Chase, The A-List: Dallas- Beautiful, well kept trail for bicyclists, runners, and walkers.
- Look for the parrots near Knox crossing- they've built a huge nest in electrical towers and are often flying about if you stop and look!

If you can't jog around white rock lake then this is s nice second option.
Coby ChivianOctober 28, 2013Park at Riverchon Park and begin your walk/run here. Safe & accessible and a good starting point
Remember your water, hat,sunscreen n bug spray. If you have pets bring water for them aswell.
Great place to run with motivation in front of you at all times! Nice trail also!
I been running there since it used to be train tracks. It has come a long way... The community has put a lot of effort in the project...
ThrillistJune 14, 2013Hit the Katy Trail for a run to get your blood flowing. Dodge bicyclists to boost your adrenaline levels.
while I may have still have some thunder in my thighs I can still make the boys rise while walking on Katie Trail
David DotsonOctober 25, 2012If going north to south, remember the trail has a long gentle slope, so the way back north will be an uphill slog.
After your run stop by Katy Ice House for a beer or the french bistro Toulouse if you wanna go fancier.
Love this place so much. Grab your shoes and go for a run! Post-run Starbucks is right up the street!
This annual 5K is a blast! Don't miss all of the vendors that set up afterwards in the park!
If you visit and of the Dallas trails, make sure you know proper etiquette to keep yourself and others safe! http://www.happytrailsdallas.com/safety-tips/
Check out the great deals for restaurants like Howard Wang's and Sangria on TangoTab.com and it will also feed those in need
Park at the AAC and start from the very beginning! It's exactly 3.5 miles one way and easier to track mileage versus beginning in the middle.- Don't miss this annual 5k, great vendors and fun at the end of the race!
Don't be a Trail Hog Plse be aware of how much space you're taking up and try to keep Kids by your side
Honestly no better place to bike in Dallas. If you get on anywhere S of Knox, you never have to hit a stop sign. A lot of runners out too.
- Some Katy Trail restaurants publish deals on the TangoTab app and help to feed those in need through local food banks
- Great Katy Trail restaurants like Sangria and Howard Wang's on TangoTab.com, dine out and feed someone in need
